New emergency numbers
As of Sept. 3, it will
be easier than ever for Nunavimmiut to receive emergency help. The 911 service
available in the South is being adapted for the region, so that the last four
digits of the phone numbers for police, firefighters and medical staff will
be the same in all of the regions 14 communities.
The last four digits for
the Kativik Regional Police Force will be 9111, for the firefighters 9000 and
for the hospitals or clinics 9090.
In July, Bell Canada will
insert an information pamphlet into invoices. An advertising and information
campaign is also planned during the month of August to remind residents of the
changeover.
